Theme Day: Corner Market

The CDPB theme for June 1st is Corner Market, and here are some views of the very convenient, friendly, and well-stocked Ken's Market & Espresso on Queen Anne Hill, where you can pop in for early morning espesso drinks or in the afternoon for a rotisserie chicken, deli sandwich, fresh organic veggies, local bakery bread, wines and cut flowers. You are invited to run down to the corner and pick up a little something in nearly every part of the world today. 174 CDPB members are participating, and you can begin your global trip to the corner store by clicking this link to our Theme Day Portal, or from the list below. On your tour, won't you join me in leaving comments to wish a Happy 2nd CDPB Blogoversary to Celine of Stayton Daily Photo, and to Jazzy of Tuzla Daily Photo, and Happy 1st to Laurent at Chateau-Gontier Daily Photo, all of whom share such wonderful images from their cities!!!

Hi, Kim. Thanks for your comment on my photo today. (And the crossed legs probably belong to someone enjoying a beer or a smoke; that's usually who I see!) Anyway, I like your photos today. They remind me of Market Time (I think that's the name) on Fremont where I go when I'm in Seattle--friendly people, good produce and take-outs; just a nice place.

I regularly ride past Ken's on my way to Trader Joe's. Never stopped here, but looks like a great place to shop. I do appreciate being close to convenient shopping, and envy your proximity to Maccarina Bakery :)

Thanks much for visiting and leaving comments everyone!And Denton, I should have mentioned in my commentary that the article about the broken ankle you refer to was written by a local blogging celebrety, Gluten Free Girl, who has published a book that's a best seller now, and who wrote that blog entry about shopping at Ken's Market a few years ago. I thought folks might enjoy seeing the store through her eyes. Thanks,-Kim

Nice corner store you've chosen, Kim. Sounds, looks like the big city version of the small town store (Aldrich's Market) I chose today for Port Townsend. Many similarities really. Nice montage with your photos too.
